Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières 2017 in Magnum - Bouchard Père et Fils
- In the past, the vines of this great Meursault must have been surrounded by juniper trees, whose name of the climate keeps the memory. This prestigious appellation was classified in "Tête de cuvée" as early as 1855 by Doctor Lavalle in his reference book "History and Statistics of the vine and the great wines of the Côte d'Or". At that time, we were not yet talking about we did not yet speak of Premiers Crus and Grands Crus. The House of Bouchard Père & Fils owns 2.65 hectares of Meursault Genevrières, which are often which are often among the first parcels of Chardonnay harvested at the Domaine.
